I am in Jerusalem for a few hours today. The ride from Tel Aviv took a long time, as we were caught in an endless traffic jam on the highway to Jerusalem. When we finally arrived in the capital, I saw the new tram on a test ride. Officially the tram is only going to work in another few months.

Here are a few impressions from about 1,5 hours ago.

The new tracks in front of the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem. In the background: the new ugly bridge serving as the new crossing into Herzl Boulevard (Sderot Herzl).

The tram driving onto the bridge.

Under the bridge

Brand new stops for the tram in Sderot Herzl (Herzl Boulevard) in the Kiryat Moshe neighbourhood. Many part of the tram stop are still wrapped into their original packaging.

About Me

After years of living in Jerusalem, I decided to betray the city by moving to Tel Aviv.:-) In the meantime I returned to the Holy City. It is actually very good to be back in Jerusalem !!!
Nevertheless, I am still writing about Jerusalem but also include many other places in Israel.
Until some years ago, I was a Yeshiva (Michlalah) student. First with the national religious and later with the Litvishe. Also got in contact with Chassidut and this subject and lifestyle has never left me.
